Pauline, I think my hope is that the TDS keeps up with the latest ncWMS. I think there is a significant lag to the native version? Could be wrong. If anything this great work should directly funnel into the TDS as WMS makes for a great compliment to WCS in the TDS. If we load ncWMS on top of the existing TDS, does that trample the WMS that is build in or will we essentially have two WMS(s)? The GODIVA2 interface is very nice. WMS/WCS certainly has applications to oceanography. If a WFS isn't in the plans, then having WMS layers that are query-able is a suggestion. I am wishing we had more time to compare the WMS that is built-in the TDS vs. the latest greatest ncWMS. I think we are missing out on a feature which allows display of vector fields from U/V? The one thing I am finding with the WMS/WCS via TDS is that each layer is its own individual service (link). The typical WMS/WCS server has one URL to point a client application to get all the available layers. Of course with tons of model output, I guess a client could be easily overwhelmed by the number of available fields. I have certainly seen ESRI brought to its knees several times. ESRI and other WMS clients really need to do a better job of supporting the time dimension. Oooo... I could go on for hours on this... If you are able to keep up this great work, please do! Rob I'd give you a pointer to our URL, but its out of service.
